I just got a used laptop with WindowsXP and I want to free up some diskspace
by deleting things I'll never use....like Mindsweeper, solitaire and all
those games. How do I delete them?

The don't show up in Add/Delete Programs...MS Office is the only thing
listed there.

Well Solitaire takes up *56k* and Minesweeper takes up *117k* and FreeCell
takes up *54k* and even Pinball only takes up 2.4 MB - if you are REALLY
that short of space, then it's time to do some proper housekeeping or buy a
new HDD.....

Don't delete MINESWEEPER. Its wonderful for passing the time when windows
update or other is collecting data from the internet while on dialup.
Game hints, both mouse buttons at same time will clear non-mine areas. 2s
have only 2 possible configurations whether up and down or side to side.
Expert level is not as hard as it may seem, just a gaining a starting
location. There is a cheat that will divulge all mine locations, but its
slower once you get the hang of the game. Game is motivated to make the
player overlook the obvious. Do the obvious first.

Don't trust advice from anyone who has a moniker like "Jonny".

If you do, you're probably gonna be taking the advice of a 12-year-old.
